Jellyfish

It took a trip 4000 feet under the sea off Baja California, Mexico to witness these New Year’s fireworks, but the payoff was worth it – as the lights of the E/V Nautilus‘ remote-operated Hercules submarine revealed the colorful tentacles of the Halitrephes maasi jellyfish.

In this fascinating and beautifully shot footage from BBC Earth’sBlue Planet II, we get an up-close look at the interaction between a Portuguese man O’ war and two fish – one who has built up a resistance to its deadly stinging tentacles, and another which isn’t so lucky.

Stressed out? We can think of nothing more soothing to do than to crank up your music of choice, then tune in to Monterey Bay Aquarium’s streaming cam, which is pointed at their jellyfish tank, filled with floaty sea nettles. This needs to be our new screensaver.

A self-contained tank that provides a safe habitat for jellyfish. It’s got no sharp edges, filter and pump systems, and a color-changing LED lamp to show off these incredible sea creatures. Kits available with or without jellies. Super early birds can get the tank and jellyfish for $200.

Artists Walter Hugo & Zoniel installed a tank filled with jellyfish behind the windows of an abandoned building in Liverpool, England. The outer garage door only lifts at night to expose the amazing glowing creatures within.

One of the more unusual Kickstarter projects out there, OMG Jellyfish aims to make 5-foot-tall bouncy, illuminated puppets inspired by the awe-inspiring sea creaturs, but made from lycra and nylon with LED lighting inside.
